MA140.A.LB.001 Datasheet, PDF (2/23 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – Heavy duty screw mount

1. Introduction
The Olympian MA140 is a high performance combination LTE and GPS/GLONASS screw mount
antenna in a compact housing, for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets worldwide. The LTE
antenna functions equally well on 2G and 3G. The GPS/Glonass antenna has stable gain and radiation
patterns on both bands.
The antenna can be mounted on metal and plastic structures. Customized cable length and connectors
are available.
Durable UV resistant IP67 ABS housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack. A rubber O-ring is
provided under the antenna to prevent water entering under the antenna. If the lower frequency bands
are required the antenna functions best when mounted on a metal ground-plane, but can still work
well with short cable lengths below 1 metres on plastic structures and is locked from the inside of the
structure by a nut. The thread is extra small, allowing for installation in the tightest of environments.
Customized cable length and connectors are available. Taoglas recommends minimum of 1m cable
length for stable antenna performance. When mounted on a ground-plane, the antenna can function
well at all frequencies up to 3 metres cable length. Generally, antenna efficiency of less than 20% at
the connector would lead to unreliable wireless system performance.
For better efficiency especially on longer cable lengths up to 5 metres, a short 300mm cable can
be used as standard, and then add a low loss 5 metre CFD200 extension cable SMA(F) to SMA(M)
[CAB.0149].
If your device requires certification for PTCRB or US/Canadian network operators please contact
Taoglas USA to check is this antenna suitable.
